Why Dar es Salaam dates can differ from India

Ekadashi is the day on which the 11th tithi is in force at your own sunrise. Sunrise in Dar es Salaam comes about 2½ hours after sunrise in Hyderabad, so the same tithi can be running at sunrise here on the day before it reaches sunrise in India, or start too late for one sunrise and catch the next.

Example: Vijaya Ekadashi. The Ekadashi tithi runs Mar 3, 2:15 AM → Mar 4, 4:55 AM in Dar es Salaam time, so the fast is on Wed, Mar 3 here; in India it is on Thu, Mar 4.

How the parana time is set

The fast is broken on Dwadashi, after sunrise, once Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) is over and before Dwadashi ends. For Papankusha Ekadashi in Dar es Salaam: Hari Vasara ends Oct 22, 6:16 PM, Dwadashi ends Oct 23, 12:06 PM, so parana is Fri, Oct 23 5:59 AM – 8:26 AM.

Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi

The dates above are Smarta. Vaishnava (ISKCON) practice moves the fast to the next day when Dashami is still running at dawn (Arunodaya, 96 minutes before sunrise). In Dar es Salaam that happens 6 times in the next 12 months: Devutthana Ekadashi (Sat, Nov 21), Pausha Putrada Ekadashi (Tue, Jan 19), Vijaya Ekadashi (Thu, Mar 4), Kamada Ekadashi (Sat, Apr 17), Apara Ekadashi (Tue, Jun 1), Kamika Ekadashi (Fri, Jul 30).
